SEO professional Gagan Ghotra posted on X with a screenshot: ChatGPT now shows ads during the image-generation wait, with the message "Here's an ad while we create your image."
OpenAI announced this ad format about a month ago, and it has now started appearing in the wild. Notably, the ad he saw was for dog/pet food while his conversation had nothing to do with dogs — suggesting the ad targeting may not use conversational context. The community has reacted negatively to ads inside ChatGPT, with whether paid subscribers will also see them being a key point of controversy.
